I’ve never counted, but based on how many pods I’ve used and how many bags I’ve recycled, I’d have to guess around 100. Maybe more? I actually take my bag to the Nespresso store, so while it’s a fair point to raise about the overall efficiency of the recycling, I have to imagine the store is doing bulk shipments of pods off to the recycling plant which would help a bit.

I received my machine as a gift. I probably wouldn’t have kept it if it weren’t for their recycling program (it’s also not my main method for making coffee) - but you're right, it might just be platitudes.

It’s worth noting their recycling program also composts the used grounds.
